MADISON, Wisc. – In the program's first trip to Wisconsin since Dec. 2002, the App State Mountaineers (1-2) fell 87-56 against tradition Big Ten power Wisconsin (3-0) at the Kohl Center on Sunday. The 31-point loss was App State's largest loss against a high-major opponent in the Kerns era since falling by 41 against the tenth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers in 2020.
App State got off to a hot start against the Badgers, leading by as much as nine points in the first half, but a 24-0 run from Wisconsin helped them come-from-behind to take the lead.
